For your current issue, irritation, redness, and itching in the penis area are most often caused by fungal infection, excess sweating, friction from tight clothing, or sometimes irritation from soaps, detergents, or poor drying after washing. The groin area stays warm and moist easily, so even small moisture or sweat buildup can trigger persistent itching and discomfort during daily activities. To manage it, keep the area clean with mild soap, dry it properly after bathing, and change underwear daily, preferably to loose cotton to allow ventilation. Avoid tight jeans and synthetic fabrics, and try not to scratch as it can worsen irritation and spread infection. In many cases, antifungal creams are needed to clear the infection properly, but the exact treatment should be decided after examination, depending on how severe or persistent it is. If symptoms keep coming back, or if there is increasing redness, pain, or any discharge, it is better to get it checked so the exact cause can be treated correctly.
